Willow Faron was a girl with big dreams. She dreams of helping people and making sure they would come home to their parents after helping them at her clinic in Portland, Oregon. But the day after she opened her clinic/home, she found it robbed, and her robber was a vampire. 

Caught between two worlds and forced to serve the vampire as their only human doctor under a Blood Oath, Willow’s dreams have turned away with the setting sun. Only the vampire in question draws her further and further into the Underground, a fantastical world where myths and fairy tales come to life.

And what’s more, Willow doesn’t want to say no.

***
Heaven help her. 

Willow didn’t know what came over her. She didn’t know why she did why she pressed her palm against Lilith, and ‘kissed’ her.

Was it the night's events making her frisky? Or was it simple desire?

Willow didn’t know, and she didn’t care.

Venipuncture

Lilith barely had time to look away before her vision was scrambled, but even so, it had the desired effect. She stumbled back, and the man moved fast, far too fast, for Lilith to prevent. A fist slammed into her stomach, and she let out a spew of spit as she stumbled backwards, clutching herself.


“Man, it never feels right hitting a woman, even if they are a vampire,” the man said, rubbing the back of his head. 


“Gah…” Lilith replied smartly. “Who…what…?”


“Ah.” The man raised his shirt, revealing a unfamiliar crest.  “The name is Abrahaman Hellsing Jaeger. A Hunter of sorts, if you will.”


“A H-Hunter…?” Lilith’s forced herself to bare her teeth. 


Who, or what was this human?! He was---How?! No one in a hundred years had so much as touched her, and yet, in the span of a second, he managed to close the gap so quickly!


“H-hey!” the boy yelled, stepping in between the two. Foolish. “I d-don’t know what’s going on, but ya can’t hit a dame like that!”
